Blockchain.info Wallet

Wed Jan 06, 2016 3:12 am

Yesterday i forgot my password for my blockchain wallet, after putting in the wrong password 3 times it "locked" me out or i thought it had.
I had the seed at home so didn't worry, when i got home before recovering the wallet by seed i decided to try open the wallet again with the correct password and it worked.

My question is do blockchain.info wallet failed login attempt only lock you out for 15min or so, or should this be permeate until the wallet is recovered by seed.
My second login with correct password happened from a different computer/ IP address but that shouldn't be a problem if it is supposed to be permeate.

Anyone know?

I found this:
Failed Login Attempts
If you have two factor authentication enabled on your account after 4 failed login attempts your account will be locked for 2 hours at which point no more login attempts can be made. You will be sent an email if your account is locked giving you time to take precautions if necessary.

I have 2fa but i was definitely not locked out for 2 hours, maybe 1 but i really think it would have been more like 30min.
I don't use this address to store coins so not too worried but i think i should check my security settings.
